Viewing Album:  NS Coil Car Train
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:1/31/2012 - 1/31/2012
Album Info:The walkway suspended above the Norfolk Southern mainlines gave a beautiful view of a passing NS coil car train as it headed onto the IHB "Egyptian Line", named since it originally ended at Cairo, IL. For modelers, it will give you an opportunity to see the coil well inside these former Inland Steel coil cars, something that sure helps scratchbuilding or detailing your cars.
